MTV says that sponsors or no sponsors, ratings or no ratings, they intend
to air all ten episodes of Skins USA. PETA, in their normal odd message, has
asked to step up as a sponsor, but say they’re prefer to have the airtime free.
Which wouldn’t solve the sponsor issues, but gets PETA free publicity for their skinned alligator and rabbit
commercial voiced by Pink and Ricky Gervais.

Daniel Hernandez, Jr.is
teaming with New York CityMayor
Mike Bloomberg for a gun control measure. It’s a logical fit, though I’m
still missing our gay hero’s connection to NYC.

One minute, I kind of love Rep. Dennis Kucinich. The next, I’m staring blankly at a story
about him suing the company that runs the House dining room for
sending him a sandwich with an olive pit in it. His dental bills and pain and
suffering are worth $150,000, even with that Cadillac Congressional health
plan.

Luke Pasqualino,
of Skins UKwill be playing the youngWilliam Adama in Battlestar:
Blood and Chrome. Based on the nearly naked centerfold for Cosmo, I’m shocked to learn a young
Adama was so twinky. His commander will be played by Ben Cotton.

Now that Comcast owns NBC, the network has picked upChelsea Handler’s sitcom about a boozy 20-something Handler. I

wife’s show after half a season.

Nikita is going to
do a major fight scene in a Turkish bath, with lots and lots of
men standing around in towels. And the show will somehow manage to make that
bleak and dull, like they manage to make all their action scenes bleak and
dull.

There are pictures of Katy
Perry playing Honey on How I Met Your Mother. She has Barney in tears, curling into the fetal position, which is what
happens to me anytime she sings.

I can’t find anything specifically gay in this press releaseabout the new BBC America showGigi: Almost American from Josh
Gad, and yet I can’t help but think we’ll end up covering it. There’s
something there, I can feel it.

It is confirmed, Jay-Z
and Will Smithhave formed a new film company, and one of the first
projects will be a remake of Annie

Universal.

The Pentagon is set to make an announcement about the training plan for Don’t Ask,
Don’t Tell repeal, and the schedule is impressively quick. We should know
details on Friday.

At the premiere for next year’s Best Picture winner, Mega Python vs. Gatoroid, Tiffanyspoke a bit about her comments on NKOTB’sJonathan Knight “I didn’t know it was
going to be such a big deal. 2011 for me is all about ‘I don’t want to know
anything. He’s darling. Of course he’s a darling. I never meant to hurt him,
and I think he’s an awesome person. I really do. He has so much class.”
